Candlelight vigil planned in memory of Kilah Davenport

MINT HILL — Family members of Kilah Davenport will be holding a candlelight vigil for her Sunday night. It will be at 8 p.m. at the Forty Rod Roadhouse in Mint Hill.

Four-year-old Kilah died this week after she started having trouble breathing.

Last month her stepfather was convicted of child abuse for severely beating her.

Her family also said a memorial service for the little girl will be held next Saturday.
